Dylan on Defining Dylan
One controversy that follows I'm Not There is the idea of whether or not the film was able to capture some essential truth about Dylan. More from the Bill Flanagan book:
People seem to think they know all about me. Maybe they don’t. Maybe everything I’ve done has been one side of something. One part. Certainly nothing that I’ve written defines me as a total person. There’s no one song that does that. Nothing I do really should surprise anybody. It seems like I’ve been doing it for so long I can’t remember when I wasn’t doing it. There’s nothing I could say that isn’t documented somewhere in the past so you could think, "Yeah, he would say something like that."
